At the time of purchasing the Fuji, I wasnt quite in a position to go for something like the S3 Pro, so I got the S5200 / S5600, which according to the reviews classisfied it as a semi-professional level cam. It really isnt a bad piece of equipment as far as features go... but I have been a bit dissapointed with the amount of noise in both the lossy, and RAW format's of the end product.
Years ago, I owned a Canon Powershot G2...granted not the best cam for large printing, being only a 4 megapixel (if I remember correctly), but the quality of the shots far outdo my current Fuji.
I have a small selection of both Canon lenses and a Nikor f-mount lens which I would like to put to use someday too :)
I realise ppl dont really part with DSLR's willingly ... lol .... but I thought perhaps if it were a workhorse that needed retiring ...well... :)
I priced the 20D, at an american online consumer store, and it quotes prices from a couple of stores retailing it...prices range from about $800, to $1700 (depending on kit etc...) which at the lowest quote would work out to approximately R5600.00 for me... not bad when you consider the same model is retailed here in S.A for about R16000.00. See my point? :)
